WM5 Blue Angel Real Life Battery Experience

[aegeas]

Could we use this thread to detail the real life battery benefits of using WM5 on the Blue Angel?

Supposedly WM5 is going to be the schizzznit for battery life. Lets see if that is really the case.

Well, I'm running it at the lowest backlight, and it seems that the battery lasts about 20% longer.

Seems a little thin for an OS that is supposed to increase battery life by 50%. Of course this OS is still in beta. My guess is there are optimizations for individual hardware profiles that could change that significantly. Lets hear from others and see what improvements come in future release candidates.

Noticed no difference :(...

Ran for 2hrs 17mins & now the battery level is at 60%. Only 15mins of that time is with WiFi on.

May jump back to WM2003SE soon...

I don't think that this ROM would run any longer that 2003SE. Our device still needs to keem RAM powered. The time would be increased on newer devices that would have less RAM. Read the story on buzz site.
